The Opinion aims to support institutions by avoiding the operational burden of maintaining two different profit or loss formats during the transition period. It is also consistent with the EBA’s broader efforts to simplify and streamline the EU supervisory reporting framework.

They clarify requirements for products with environmental, social and governance (ESG) features whenever offered and sold to consumers and address greenwashing risks.

It shows how strong and consistent supervision can support the simplification of the regulatory framework, reduce unnecessary complexity, and help secure a level playing field across the Single Market.
